"Really,
President Bush? You think [the Gonzales testimony] went well? Which part?
Because the best thing anyone can say about Gonzales' testimony was that he
didn't use the word 'nappy,' and he remembered to wear pants." --Amy Poehler

Bill and Georgia Thomas
reported they were elated Monday when they met in the Oval Office with President
George W. Bush to present him with a Purple Heart.

"In the wake
of his disastrous performance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney
General Alberto Gonzales maintains that he still won't resign. ... Really,
Alberto Gonzales? You're not going to resign? ... During the hearings, you said
'I don't remember' or ' I don't recall' over 50 times. Don't lawyers need to
have good memories? ... I'd rather have the guy from 'Memento' as a lawyer. My
Commodore 64 has more memory than you, and it runs on bong water. ... Even the
most conservative senators think you should resign. Sam Brownback thinks you
should resign, and he's so conservative, he thinks watching 'Will and Grace'
gives you AIDS" --Seth Meyers

This photo
supplied by NASA/ESA shows one of the largest panoramic images ever taken with
NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's cameras of the Carina Nebula, which was
released Tuesday April 24, 2007, to celebrate the 17th anniversary of the launch
and deployment of the Hubble. The image shows a 50 light-year-wide view of the
tumultuous central region of the nebula ,where a maelstrom of star birt and
death is taking place. The photo shows the process of star birth at a new level
of detail. The bizarre landscape of the nebula is sculpted by the action of out
flowing winds and scorching ultraviolet radiation from the monster stars that
inhabit this inferno. These stars are shredding the surrounding material that is
the last vestige of the giant cloud from which the stars were born. This immense
nebula contains a dozen or more brilliant stars that are estimated to be at
least 50 to 100 times the mass of our Sun. The immense nebula is an estimated
7,500 light-years away in the southern constellation Carina. The fireworks in
the region started three million years ago when the nebula's first generation of
newborn stars condensed and ignited in the middle of a huge cloud of cold
molecular hydrogen. Photo/NASA-ESA
